Noise Induced Hearing Loss: A Major Issue in Modern World

Hi friends, in today's world where science has advanced so much, along with its pros it has given us many cons.One of the major cons is the noised pollution like from cars, aeroplanes, industries with lots of noise. Apart from deafness or hearing loss noise has many other bad affects on our health.

1. Traffic induced noise is the most common form of noise in countries like India ( from where I belong). Most of these people driving cars are so impatient that they cant even stop at the signal and also they do not obey traffic rules. Most of the time they are in hurry because they are late. Anyways these cars are major source of noise pollution along with air pollution. You can avoid these when you obey the traffic rules and may be if leave for work on time (for Indians).

2. Other source of noise pollution is the mills. There are a few mills or industries where there is a lot of noise pollution. For these type of pollutions we have some rules in India like these workers should not work more than 5 days week for max 8 hrs per day.

3. The loudspeakers which we enjoy now a days is now becoming very common source of noise pollution as they are getting better and cheaper. We like to enjoy loud music for hours without having any thoughts of what other people might be experiencing due to this noise. It is our responsibility that we control that noise so that other may live in piece.

Most of these factors are manageable by us. So should try to mange the situation. Because if we don't care for our surrounding nobody will.

Stress: How It Affects Sex Life

Stress is a major problem in this modern era, especially with our hectic work environment. Stress can affect many aspects of our life and cause many illnesses like insomnias, stomach problems, mental problems. Not only these but stress has major effect on sexual life also.

How does stress affect libido:

When we are under stress our body releases different hormones like cortisol, adrenalin which prepare our body for fight or flight reaction. Cortisol has many effects on our body one of which is decreased libido that is decreased desire for sex.

Apart from physical stress there is mental stress which is more common now a days and is increasing more and more. Mental stress can be related to work, money, how to pay your monthly electricity and phone bill and more importantly your Internet and Cable Tv bills :D.These stresses lead to low mood and ultimately to depression. In this case you are not able to concentrate on what you are doing, and also you loose interest in almost everything else which you enjoyed earlier including sex.


What to do??

Hmm... this is a difficult part as there are thousands of solutions available and still remain ineffective as they entirely depend on individual ability to cope with stress. Its only you who can relieve your stress. Others can only give advices. As of me all I can say that you can relieve your stress by doing something which you like, something which cheers you up even in sad mood, whichever activity it is, it will surely make you stress free. Rest all those yoga, excercises and everything else depends on you, if you wanna do it... do it, if dont then no harm done. I hope i helped. Enjoy life..:)
